Understanding the client resistance patterns at Family Court in Egypt: Implications for Social Work Practice
Egyptian Journal of Social Work, 2019Co-Authors: Ahmed Thabet Helal IbrahimAbstract:Practicing social workers face many challenges at Family Dispute Settlement Offices in Family Courts across Egypt. One of the most important barriers, as previous studies with Western populations have shown, is client resistance to change. The current study explores this professional practice barrier in social work within an Arab environment. The purpose of this study is to identify the patterns of client resistance at Family Court in Assiut city Egypt. The sample of this study consists of 30 social workers, 20 male, and 10 female, ages 20 through 49 years. Findings indicate that these social workers faced 25 patterns of resistance in Family Court. Finally, strategies for helping social workers deal with client resistance in Family Court in Egypt are suggested.

The Incidence of Alleged Sexual Abuse in 603 Family Court Cases
Law and Human Behavior, 1993Co-Authors: Julia A. Mcintosh, Ronald J. PrinzAbstract:The conflict and animosity that sometimes accompanies child custody disputes can give rise to the propagation of allegations of child sexual abuse. To characterize the magnitude of the problem, the present study attempted to determine whether and to what extent child sexual abuse allegations predominate in Family Court litigation. The entire one-year caseload of a county Family Court docket was systematically reviewed and coded. Methodical evaluation of 603 Family Court files yielded base rates of pertinent allegations and other information profiling the cases. The findings did not support the contention that sexual abuse allegations are commonplace in child custody disputes. Sexual abuse allegations were made in 2% of cases in which custody or access was contested and in only 0.8% of the cases overal. Implications of the findings for future research were discussed.

Post-Separation Abuse of Women and their Children: Boundary-Setting and Family Court Utilization among Victimized Mothers
Journal of Family Violence, 2013Co-Authors: April M. Zeoli, Echo A. Rivera, Cris M. Sullivan, Sheryl KubiakAbstract:Continued abuse of themselves and their children is a concern for many mothers leaving intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrating husbands. This research examines women’s responses to abuse committed by ex-husbands with whom they had undergone custody disputes. In-depth, qualitative interviews were conducted with 19 mothers who had divorced IPV-perpetrating husbands between 1 and 3 years prior. Participants were located through publicly available Family Court divorce records and interviews were examined using analytic induction. Women’s strategies to protect themselves and their children from abuse involved setting boundaries to govern their interactions with ex-husbands. Mothers often turned to Family Court for assistance in setting boundaries to keep children safe, but found that Family Court did not respond in ways they believed protected their children. Conversely, when women turned to the justice system for restraining orders or called the police for help against IPV, they generally found the justice system responsive.

secondary victimization of abused mothers by Family Court mediators
Feminist Criminology, 2012Co-Authors: Echo A. Rivera, Cris M. Sullivan, April M. ZeoliAbstract:Family Court often assists divorcing parties in establishing custody arrangements. Mediation is commonly used for custody negotiation; however, its applicability for cases involving intimate partner abuse (IPA) is debated. This study was designed to gain an in-depth understanding of abused mothers' Court mediation experiences and how those experiences impact future Court help-seeking when the fathers of their children have been abusive to them. Most women experienced secondary victimization during mediation, which had a negative impact on their willingness to use the Court in the future. Policy recommendations include screening for IPA, providing separate mediation sessions, and improving Court mediators' training.
